Is Harris Really Worth Voting For?

[oldbadger]

Harris is an EXTREEME Leftist, that hasn't changed! She can't say what she believes about the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Extreme Leftist? Kamala Harris?

You must be somewhere on the distant far right to think that, surely?

Proposing price controls & property
confiscation is extreme left.
Perhaps not in England, but it is here.

But note that Trump is even more
extreme, eg, attempted coup, raping
women, criminalizing criticizing judges.

The issue is which extremist is worse.

Just heard on NPR Harris saying that
being American is a "privilege".
Dang....I thought that my citizenship
was more than a privilege. It's my right.

Actually she said "the greatest privilege on earth"

I know.
But to even suggest that it's a privilege
rather than a right is really poor form.

Well, I have a different meaning about that. But then to me rights are not facts, they are useful social constructs, that can be believed in.

What choice do democrats.
She's not been voted into candidacy.
She lost badly in her campaign run for democratic candidate.
Just weird how she fell into this position.

It's telling to see Trumpers try to use "weird" now, when they're usually much more likely to say things like "DEI hire," "colored," and "whore."

But her minions liked it and cheered loudly

I'll wager they didn't even notice
the implication that bothered me.

But I chalk it up to sloppy speech,
rather than intent.

I was born here.

Well, privilege could be understood as connected to the problem of luck in morality and what is fair in being a human.

 

[Revoltingest]

Well, privilege....

Hey, aren't you a privileged white guy?
Someone said so.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

Well, yes. But I was unlucky in limited sense that I am mentally ill in a limited sense. But yes, I were to be born in Denmark and thus it is a form of privilege that I have done nothing to earn.

 

[Revoltingest]

Well, yes.

Now that is established.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

Now that is established.

Yes, that applies to a certain degree to most people in the "better" parts of the world and that is also you.

 

[Revoltingest]

Yes...

Good word to use more often.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

Now that is established.

You didn't quote correctly BTW.

 

[Revoltingest]

You didn't...
